Does anybody know whether there is truth in rumours of a new Club Med hotel being built in Val Thorens?
Thanks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

My BiL stayed with Club Med in Arc2000 this year, he said that CM are closing all the 3 Trident hotels (which would include Arc2000) and only running the top end 4 trident ones. Which from the one time I considered them means it isn't going to be cheap!

Looks like the one in Val D'Isere is half 4* and half 5* now. I wonder how much the 5* bit costs?

To be fair, they include 3 meals a day, open bar, and full(?) time ski instruction too.
Thanks Duster & Dobby. Exactly what I (a friend) needed to know.

BiL loves it as well, I did look at it for last trip and it was £1500 more than my DIY approach.
I agree it is value for money, and sure it suits many folks, but £1500 is a lot of extra cash for me

Yes the new club med is going to be huge. It is pretty nearly opposite our appartment and has cut off a sneaky route back. As others have said it
has caused a lot of dust. Mind you their skip was useful when I was replacing wadrobes. Not sure what is happening with their current building.
There is a lot of upmarket development going on in VT at the moment all upmarket with Kohinor 5 star hotel open and full. St martin mayors office told me another 10k beds between last year and next couple of years with only 4 and 5 star developments being approved. It only takes a few low snow periods for 3vs and VT in particular to get full up.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Agreed, and exactly why I keep going on UCPA holidays rather than CM holidays

You know it makes sense.

Fourth year with club med and very happy with the format and believe its great value considering you don't really need to spend another penny for the entire week. We love the simplicity and ease of having everything arranged for you and the ski lessons/guiding have helped us improve our skiing without any stress. We're off to VT on again 23 march and hope to use the new hotel in 2014.

Oops more like 2015 of course. If we do I'll post a full review.

We have been going on Club Med holidays for about 25 years & I agree they provide tremendous value for money (apart from the ski hire...but we have our own gear, so that is not a problem for us). I am going to Tignes Val Claret Club Med in early February the missus (4th year running) & to CM at Val Thorens with the guys in mid March. To be honest, we have found it cheaper on a CM holiday than on a half board holiday in a Les Menuires hotel when you add in cost of lunch, lift pass, lessons, booze etc. And the quality of the food & service at Club Med is usually very high.
